I'll bow to your local knowledge Captain Ahab, but bear in mind that being near the equator both maximises sun and avoids tropical storms.

See map for traces of storms:

Bonus challenge, can you find Japan, who are piloting this tech, on that map. They're in there somewhere under the squiggles.

Kick the snark down a few notches and maybe realise that cyclonic storm tracks aren't the limit of rough seas that result.

I don't hunt whales but I do have first hand direct experience of marine engineering in exactly that region.
